Dealing with a negative family member…or a person who just likes to put you down

Thanks...I asked your ages because I wondered maybe if you were much younger, teens maybe and he hadn't had time to outgrow crap like that. You've gotten a lot of good advice here, so hopefully some of it will help you deal with him. You may just have to sit him down and have a heart to heart with him. Then, if he keeps it up, just break it off in him in front of anybody and everybody when he does it again. I have known people who act fine one on one, but have to show their *** in a crowd for whatever reason. Most people like that learn from some humble pie! Good luck with dealing with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing your Scamp progress into what you want it to be. Most of us guys here are older (I'm 67) and have been fiddling with cars our whole lives, so there should be no shortage of help available as you need it.
